Awesome service! Nikola and George were outstanding. Awesome buffet , gluten free pancakes , and bison burgers . Will definitely go back!
Servers are great coffee is good! We came in the end of April so most places are closed so this was a great stop!
The cinnamon swirl french toast is out of this world. Everything we've had here is awesome!
Service was outstanding. If you're going in the summer get there a bit early to visit with the owner. And the food was delicious too.
Tried the Bison Burger . I don't like Bison . Grilled chicken great. Fries great. Coffee great.
Breakfast pastie was homemade and tasted amazing! Skillets also very tasty. Service was good as well .
Been maybe 4 times over the past ten years. Hamburgers are really good but for some reason there is ALWAYS a problem. Staff could care less and it shows
Liked the buffet and the waitress let my picky son take items off buffet , even tho he ordered off menu ..
Breakfast was good, biscuits & gravy a bit salty ..Good pancakes .
Pretty good food and service. they do not enforce wearing a mask away from your table and the vast majority did not wear them.
Food is great. Great servers. Breakfast buffet is nice. Good vegetarian options . ;)
